-Finish The Nancy Drew Challenge. I have 23 left to go and I think I’ve reached the point where I have to start buying Nancy Drews to fill in the holes in my collection. I really want to finish it this year. Wish me luck!

-I want to go back and catch up on some series that I know I’ve fallen behind on.

-I’m going to spend some time looking at the “1001 Books to Read Before You Die” and the “1001 Children’s Books to Read Before You Grow Up”. I’m betting there are some good books lurking in those lists that I never got around to reading. I’m not calling this a challenge – not really. It’s just something I want to do that will maybe turn into a challenge someday.

In my single days, I used to love reading, but as I had children and got busier, I have stopped reading novels. The problem is that I get too engrossed and neglect all my other tasks to finish reading the book.
